Smartphones are great, but a lot of people worry that they’re using them too much. If you’re curious about which apps are taking up your time, we’ll show you how to get some insight with Digital Wellbeing tools.
Many Android devices include a suite of tools called “Digital Wellbeing.” These tools are aimed at helping you use your phone in a healthy way. Part of that is providing information about how you’re using your phone. You can see which apps you’re using the most, revealing any possible unhealthy behavior.

If you haven’t looked at this before, you might have to tap “Show Info” to see your stats.
Next, you’ll see a bar graph that shows your screen time compared to previous days. Underneath that is where you can see the list of your most-used apps. Use the arrows to move between the different days to see which apps you’re using the most.
Hopefully, you can use these tools to understand your usage habits better and make changes if that’s something you’re interested in doing.
